Army of Two Sequel Primed

A sequel to Army of Two, EA Montreal's co-op based shoot me do, is evidently nearing, with the original's official site pointing towards an announcement next week.

A deliriously dumb but nevertheless fun shooter, the critical response to Army of Two was mixed – but consumer response has evidently warranted a sequel. EA revealed that it's Montreal studio will be announcing a new game next, and videogaming24/7 has taken a fine tooth comb to the original's website and unveiled some telling source code – namely references to a game titled 'Army of Two: TFD' and carrying the description "Army to Two. The definitive third person co-op shooter is back."

A sequel to Army of Two has been long known to be in development, with composer Tyler Bates of Watchmen and 300 fame recently revealing he was at work on the game's soundtrack. EA declined to comment on the story when approached by IGN.
